How do I read a condo's SIRS study and reserves? Under contract in Pompano

Under contract on a 2/2 in a 1987 oceanfront building in Pompano, $525k, HOA $1,150. Got the SIRS study and the budget this week and there's no actual number anywhere telling me what I'm exposed to, So I did it myself: roof, plumbing risers and balcony waterproofing all flagged, easily $3M of work, and the reserves for those lines look like a few hundred grand. 96 units, so I'm getting close to $28k a door.nnIs that how you're supposed to estimate it, or am I missing something? And is a summary page plus the budget enough, or should I be pushing for the full report and the milestone inspection before my inspection period runs out?
